Partnerships

We help those in need through Community Partnerships.

Creighton is proud to be a top-tier Jesuit university that educates students in Jesuit traditions as they become leaders in the service of others. Staying active in the neighborhoods where we live and learn is a vital part of this effort. Our strong community partnerships provide students with opportunities to put classroom lessons to work in the places they can do the most good.

The Jesuit value of cura personalis—care for the person—is at the core of our healthcare outreach. Compassion and concern for human dignity are the hallmarks of the care we provide.
